Weekly Transmission 007!

Ouch! Our heads are still reeling from the mini-DT takeover at Fabric on Monday night. We came, we saw, we drank far too much and we taught Peaches Geldof a thing or two up in Room 3. Keep your eyes peeled for some very special Data Transmission parties over the next few months – including some possible international bizness!

This week on the site we’re brimming over with must-read bits. We’ve got an exclusive interview with The Swedish House Mafia (Angello, Ingrosso & Axwell) ahead of their gigs at KOKO in London and at Warehouse Project in Manchester over Easter, Cool & Deadly dub-monster Tayo’s guide to bass culture in’08, jungle legend Kenny Ken telling us about his influences, and reviews of Magik in Birmingham and Border Community in Edinburgh. On top of that, there’s tons of reviews and news from Groove Armada, Azuli, Portishead, Exit Festival, Kompakt, Lee Coombs, Buzzin’ Fly, Freerange, Tiesto, Sebastien Tellier and more....

And of course there’s a load of shithot competitions – new ones this week where you could win Carl Cox & Cr2 vinyls, free entry and VIPness and booze for Chibuku’s 8th Birthday in Liverpool and for Sexy Beast’s launch in London with Paul Woolford, plus last chances to win over £180 worth of UDG products, Agwa De Bolivia coca leaf liqueur, and passes to Rockness and Gatecrasher SSS!

Phew, now that’s over – anyone got any activated charcoal tablets? We’ve heard they do wonders for hangovers....

Carl Cox vs. Yousef - I Want You
Reviewed By: BenGomori

Yousef decided to remix Carl Cox’s 1991 rave anthem as a tribute-style thank you for booking him repeatedly at his Miami WMC and Space Ibiza events over the years, just for a bit of a laff like.

The first in double release from Freerange Records, celebrating their 100th release. Milton Jackson in particular comes up trumps.
 
 
     
Cliff Coenraad and Thomas Hagenbeek - Filthy Ripper
Reviewed By: theviceroy

Fresh from remixing the Trance Energy 2008 anthem, this new musical partnership debut on Marco V’s In Charge label. Cliff Coenraad and Thomas Hagenbeek drop a seriously nasty, brutal and oh so good piece of dance floor filth.

 
 
     
Abbott Chambers ft. Tiff Lacey - Strange Liaison (Cressida Remix)
Reviewed By: jbnumerouno

It's an 11:30PM track that will pick up a dancefloor but it's not going to be the tune you remember from a night out.

Another generally superb collection of house, electro and techno from those bods at Azuli, with only a couple of tracks missing the mark.

Late Night Tales: Groove Armada

Messers Finlay & Cato were quite a surprising choice for Azuli’s latest LateNightTales compilation – given that they already did a CD on a very similar tip for the Another Late Night series...
